The Art of Sampling!

I wanted to learn how to sample Voices or Vocals and create like and effect of French house. i watched the CM magazine video Where Phonat starts to working  with this technique and the results were awesome !!  does anyone know other videos or how to achieve this vocals to sounds funky and Super Melodic?

i forgot to put the link of the Video. this is the link

if you notice when he does the intro of the track he put bunch of different vocals samples and made them sound in harmony . i would love to know how he tunes his track to sound that funky

havent watched it, will later



but he probably has pitched them to make it the right key to follow the chord progression or the scale

here in this part he explains how to make tune the samples but he says that you got to play alot with them till it make it sense . now i wonder if he is using a chord to tune  his samples?

this is the video where he explain it at  3.35

it wouldnt be chords



i watched this last night in the end, he knows music theory despite what he says and a lil bit of theory can get you a long way in production



what he does is works out what key a sample is, i do this by having it on loop and firing up my keyboard and playing notes till it sounds right, and then working it out from there from this dodgy jamming



or he might even bypass that and just pitch shift to suit on the fly, just mess about with it!



if you like that sound then download some todd edwards mixes / albums, he is the originator of that effect and takes it to a whole new level beyond vocals

watched the video. interestong that he uses camelphat as a sidechain effect… always thought (freemasons) that you should use the same kick that you use in the track as the trigger for the sidechain compressor…  due to the timings…

anyone else use anything other than the kick they use in the track to trigger the SC comp?
